Howard Brown Health is a new construction project rooted in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago.  At 91,000 sf, this 5-level project included street-level retail, pharmacy, lab, generous clinical space, underground parking, expansive rooftop terrace, and more.

Consolidating family care, dental services, behavioral health, administrative offices, and financial support are among the services provided at Howard Brown.

This multi-level medical facility with state-of-the-art technology also includes a comprehensive dental care center and medical office – doubling patient capacity.
New carpet throughout lobbies, luxury vinyl tile through corridors, and office spaces were part of the interior component. Sealed concrete on level 5 was delivered for event and future office space.

¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ built the state-of-the-art facility, the first of its kind in Chicago, and one of only a handful of hydraulically operated banked track systems in the country. Located in the City’s historic Pullman community, the 139,000 sf facility is home to a six-lane hydraulically banked 200-meter running track, volleyball and basketball courts, and a seating capacity of 3,500. The exterior design matches the integrity of the classic structures in the surrounding neighborhood while incorporating modern touches.

The project, which is also the base of operations for After School Matters, should serve as a model of collaboration between public and private entities, as well as non-profit organizations, as it provides space that is not only significant in its stated functionality, but also enhances the quality of life for the community, and provided opportunities for disadvantaged firms to participate in the design and construction of the project.

To meet the challenge of placing over 16,000 cubic yards of concrete over 33 stories on this cramped urban site, McHugh marshaled its expertise to design a unique concrete placing device to allow for pouring the core without using a full-sized placing boom. Other innovations included the use of a self-climbing core form system that rose without the need for any crane time and designing the core forms with a working platform to accommodate loads from reinforcing steel laydown and suspended access stairs.

The renovations to Thompson Hall included removal and replacement of the exterior enclosure system; replacement of the HVAC systems on each floor; and providing new finishes in the dorm rooms. Originally constructed in 1969, Thompson Hall houses 630 dorm rooms over 19 floors and was clad in 170,000 sf of wall panels and windows. Crews removed the old system and installed 125,000 sf of new glass curtainwall and 45,000 sf of new rain screen metal panel wall system.

Additional exterior work included the installation of new canopies, entry doors and hardware, and new roofs. Interior work included coordination of asbestos removal with the University’s abatement contractor; selective demolition to provide access for the exterior wall replacement; and installation of new HVAC systems, drywall, carpet, paint, and window coverings.

A historic structure, a mere 6.6-acre site and 1,400 students on hand: these are a few hurdles McHugh faced for its $64 million renovation and expansion of Riverside Brookfield High School.

McHugh broke the work into phases and using every open space possible, including interior courtyards, to complete work while the school remains in session. An early presence on site, with the project team in place six months before construction began, allowed for aggressive scheduling. Work included construction of a music center in a 70-by-70-foot courtyard, renovation of classrooms, public areas and bathrooms with fixtures dating back to 1917; and construction of a new academic wing with main entrance, student commons and field house.

McHugh served as construction manager for the expansion and renovation of 11 elementary and middle schools. The most significant work occurred at Hawthorne Elementary School, built in 1888, damaged by fire in 1917, and refurbished in 1921. McHugh constructed a new wing then rebuilt Hawthorne in sections while school remained in session. The construction safety program McHugh developed for Elmhurst’s York High School was equally effective for these smaller schools.

In one of the most successful Chicago-area school projects in decades, McHugh completed the reconstruction of this award-winning high school more than six months ahead of schedule through strategic design and engineering changes, innovative project management and a close relationship with the client.

While school remained in session, McHugh rebuilt the school in phases over 2-1/2 years, with only the renovated 1920s-era auditorium and tower building, along with a relatively new aquatic center, remaining. The new portions include a 300,000-square-foot, three-story academic building, commons wing with library and athletic wing with 59,000-square-foot field house, fitness center and two gymnasiums.
